My child is treated just like the name. Just like one of Liz's kids. She has been great and our 2nd child (once born) will also be attending. Beyond satisfied with my child's care.

Would not trust anyone else to watch my girls. I feel this is home away from home for them. Treats my girls like they are part of their family.

Just Like Mine Daycare is a wonderful place to have your children to get more individualized attention and plenty of experiences with the outside world. Way more functional, instructional and caring than a larger overcrowded daycare. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Liz makes sure to engage my kids in outdoor play and is always there to teach them in the moment of their interests. They get opportunities that many others places do not offer including the zoo, parks, nature trails, and participating in the 1000 hours outside challenge each year. She makes sure that provide new learning environments and teaches them in ways that they understand and learn in an amazing approach. She truly cares for each one of the kids.
